In total it's taken us almost 2 months to finish this video. That's about 4 weeks of me actually finding the time to plan the story and make and paint all the sets and wire-frame figures, then a few days of intense stop-frame animation followed by an interesting evening spent in Paul and Sean's kitchen with a camcorder, a desk light, a torch and a strobe light.
Editing it though caused so many problems, not least the tedious amount of time it took to sync everything up with the music. The main problem I had was my crappy version of Premier kept skipping out the light frames in the strobe sections everytime I tried to export them leaving big black sections. After trying it everyway I possibly could I was reduced to using 'print screen' and cropping each individual light frame in photoshop before importing them back into the project.
I had to do this over 400 times...
So considering how this was made once again I couldn't be happier with how 'professional' the final product looks!
PLEASE LEAVE US A COMMENT AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
